Twitter has emerged from a simple SMS service to the world’s most popular micro-blogging platform with millions of users. Its exponential growth in early 2009 was all thanks to the presence of celebrities who embrace the website. If you take a good look at Twitterholic’s Top 100 Twitter Users, you would notice that celebrities are dominating the rankings, which are based on number of followers. The rise of number of celebrities, be it athletes, politicians, actors, actresses or singers, boosted Twitter’s traffic tremendously, especially after Oprah Winfrey posted her first tweet.

Obama was first! April 2007. Good thing your President is ahead of the curve, that's the way it should be. Would've been interesting to put these in chronological order and try and understand how the momentum grew.
